Suggestion: Force Download

[Phuein]

It's a function I used a lot in uTorrent It allows the user to "force" a download to run even when it doesn't fit the rules of the queue etc.

I'm a noob C programmer so I might be curious to look at the code, but I doubt I'd be able to add that function myself.

That would not be good since it is written in python

[deadlikeoscar]

Yeah, we need to be able to force that mother.

I'm not sure if this was ever talked about beyond this; but I would sure love a plugin that would allow me to make exceptions to the "pause all" and "resume all" functions. There are torrents which I would ideally seed 24/7 because they're rarely downloaded and there aren't many seeds.

This relates to one of my ideas, actually. In the past, I've often tried to Resume a Paused torrent, only for it to instantly go back to Paused again. After some head scratching, I discovered that it was because I had set the maximum seed ratio, and the torrent had reached that value. I think that if you Resume a torrent that is already at the maximum seed ratio, then this should represent an implicit "Ignore the maximum seed ratio for this torrent" instruction.

Good idea, I agree on that feature, it would be useful.

Heres how I do it currently without that feature... remove the torrent and add it again to seed again, although it would have to rehash that file and it would also only go to the ratio setting and stop again.

Absolutely seconded. Either that or fix the Desired Ratio plugin so that it actually does that.

Desired ratio plugin is not that... I too was mistaken at first as to it's use.

basically it is the desired ratio it tries to keep during downloading but not uploading.

Dammit... Well, then a real desired ratio plugin should solve all these problems, I think.

I've been waving that flag for some time now
